Estimated annual total
Estimate only: assessed value × mills ÷ 1,000 per layer, before the homestead exclusion or
any interim adjustments. The county bill is what the offices say it is, not what a website computes.
Walkable downtowns, the Route 611 retail spine, and Central Bucks School District demand — the county's quality-of-life premium.
Buyer framing (curated): School district reputation, Route 611 retail, and Warminster rail access drive buyer demand. Compare Warrington, Doylestown, and Warwick before you anchor on one listing.
Assessment, deed, parcel, and municipal contact checks belong in every serious housing decision. These links route to official or curated public-source hubs — not secondary aggregators.

Ranks and county medians are computed across all Bucks County municipalities reporting each measure in the

a high median home value and a long commute are both rank 1 at the top of their columns.

Closest matches on home value, income, rent, owner-occupancy and commute — the towns a buyer weighing Chalfont Borough usually ends up comparing it against.
Chalfont Borough appears on the county's roster of Aqua-served municipalities.
Chalfont is a compact, fully served borough: PECO covers electric and gas across Central Bucks,
Aqua Pennsylvania is the water supplier on the county roster, and the borough contracts trash and
weekly recycling for residents — no hauler shopping required.
That simplicity is worth something in monthly-cost modeling: one regulated electric-and-gas
utility, one water bill, and a collection contract that rides with the borough. The remaining
questions are property-level — sewer billing and any municipal liens — and the borough office is
the right place to confirm both before settlement.

The county's lake park is minutes north of the borough — the paved lake loop is the area's default walk and ride.
Trail
US 202 Parkway Trail — PennDOT
The paved multi-use path along the 202 Parkway passes the borough's edge, linking toward Doylestown and Montgomery County.
Chalfont is one of Central Bucks’ genuine walk-to-the-train addresses: a compact borough with
its own station on the Lansdale/Doylestown Line and a small crossroads center along Butler
Avenue. Add Peace Valley Park a few minutes up the road — the lake loop, boat rentals, and
bird-blind trails — and the borough punches far above its size for daily quality of life.
The stock is mostly modest single-family homes and twins on borough-scale lots, priced under
neighboring Doylestown for the same Central Bucks schools. Train noise and Butler Avenue
traffic are the honest checks to run block by block; for many commuting buyers, the station
more than pays for them.
A Chalfont Borough address is presumed to sit in Central Bucks SD, but boundaries split streets — confirm the assignment for the exact parcel.
